Thanks guys!! It took 6 months, but I'm definitely satisfied with them. I haven't stopped staring at them since I got them. :lol::lol:

Awesome Marcus! I like the uniqueness of these, as there is only one other set out there. Hopefully more progress is soon to come.

Thanks Scott!! That other set is all the way in Belgium, so I have the only set in America. :walkingdog: For now anyway. I have some job training to do tomorrow, but I should get the tires mounted tomorrow after that pending I get out of class at a decent time. Now that the wheels are here I can get the car to the exhaust shop too, hopefully soon and then get the car wired as well.

Got the wheels mounted yesterday. I'm happier than all outdoors just to see the car sitting on the ground now. I measured everything on my own and did it, literally 9-10 times. No lie!! I even bought different new tires and kept checking fitment. I was so nervous and afraid to turn in the numbers I had measured to HRE. They kept emailing me for my backspacing numbers, as I had already put down 50% deposit and I kept procrastinating. I'd buy different size tires from Discount Tire and return them, which is doable just so long as you don't mount them. I told the guys there what I was doing and they were happy to help. So, after checking my numbers a million times on several different tires I went off of hope and ordered the wheels. I was still worried, because the worst thing you want is to order super expensive wheels, only to get them after waiting and they don't fit. So, I was super excited to receive the wheels. After getting them mounted and balanced on the tires, the moment of truth came...."Ohh s#!t, I hope these wheels fit!" Low and behold, every thing was perfect. I probably could've added an extra .25" on the rear, but other than that, they're perfect. Tires are mismatch, cuz once I get the car running, I plan to have a tad bit of fun hopefully and burn a little rubber. I have a brand new set of Michelin Pilot Sports to mount afterwards. Now, that wheels are finally on and the car on the ground I can get the exhaust done and get it wired and start the car soon.

Wheel specs are:
*19x10-275/30/19
*19x13-345/30/19

Hell yeah! Nice.

Looks great! Nice job on the measuring! I can understand your nervousness with the wheels, that would be an expensive mistake. I'd probably err on the side of caution and just live with that extra .25" of clearance.

Correct, I'll just live with it, because .25" is such a small tolerance that it'll be ok. It would only bring the tire outward towards the quarter panel just a tad bit more to my personal liking. But, I definitely wanted to make sure the tire didn't hit the quarter panel and that's why I went with the measurement I did to be safe for that very reason...I didn't want any rubbing.
